You are right Trin that her needs are being met right now. The idea of skipping came around because:
-scheduling for next ear would be much, much easier
-mom of the other girl was really pursuing it
-a well meaning LA teacher sees her as the brightest star in her class.
By the way, that LA teacher was shocked when I told her today.She told my D right there, on the spot "you are going to be very bored next year young lady", to which D replied "that's OK"
I have a strong feeling right now as to why D does not want to skip. Ghost is a school star, best scholar, SB officer, NJHS member, tutors kids, everybody knows his name kind of kid. SHE wants to achieve the same! She probably feels that is she skips now she will not be a leader any more!
